Effect of aqua aerobic exercises and aerobic exercises with sun salutation on flexibility parameter among college men students

The present study was to investigate the Effect of aqua aerobic exercises and aerobic exercises with sun salutation on flexibility parameter among college men students. To achieve this purpose of the study forty five (N=45) college men students were selected from M.D.T Hindu College, Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu state, India, during the year 2017–18. The subject's age ranges from 18 to 23 years. The selected subject were divided into three equal groups consists of fifteen subject each namely two experimental groups and control group from college students. The experimental group I underwent aqua aerobic exercise with sun salutation group (AAEG) and experimental group II underwent aerobic exercise with sun salutation group (AEG) programme for twelve weeks. The control group was not taking part in any exercise during the course of the study. The dependent variable flexibility parameter selected for the study, it was measured by sit and reach test formula unit of centimetres. Pre-test was taken before the exercise period and post-test was measured immediately after the twelve weeks exercises period. The data collected from the three groups were statistically analyzed for significance, the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used and the F ratio was found out. The Scheffe's test is applied as post-hoc test to determine the paired mean differences. The level of significance will be fixed at.05 level of confidence for all the cases. These results suggest that both aqua aerobic exercises with sun salutation group and aerobic exercise sun salutation group improve flexibility level.
